Reply to comment by nonotreallyme in Kremlin says it is concerned by situation in breakaway Moldovan region by nycboots
I know where Transnistria is.... It's in Moldova. Not a single (non-russian) UN entity recognizes ANY claim by russia on this region as legitimate. Regardless of whether russians are there not or not does not make any claim legitimate. Hell, the russians are in the Donbass... should we recognize that as well?
My point is the same... the russians are stirring up trouble so that they can "come to the rescue"... just like they are trying right now in Ukraine. So... any attempt by russia to "claim" they are simply protecting their own is total bullshit. They shouldn't be there in the first place. And if Moldova asks NATO for help, they should get it.

It's not a "breakaway" region.... it is Moldova. By framing it as a "breakaway" region, russia is trying to set up a defense for why they are going to attack there.

Are they "open" to surrender? Because that's really the only way this war will end.....

Reply to comment by Feynnehrun in Ukraine Says Its Air Defenses Can't Protect Against Iranian Ballistic Missiles by BeautyInTheNegitive
Yes, I get it.. I said so. But attacking another country because they're supplying arms is a bit too far. You're suggesting opening up a new front in this world war. Don't stop at iran... NK and China are also supplying arms and logistics. Are you suggesting that they "get some" also?

As much as I would like to agree with you..... the US and EU are doing the same thing. (And I get it... russia is the aggressor..... but.....)

Yeah.... I'm calling bullshit on this narrative. IF there was a missile, it was russian, not Ukrainian.

Really.... It's about the "monthly fee" part. No car needs that. BMW took severe flack for a monthly fee for butt warmers. Sell the car... not a monthly fee schedule.

Would you pay a monthly fee to "overclock" your CPU? I think not.

Sort of like when the old school garage mechanic fucked up your carburetor and then said he could fix it... for a nominal price.
If you're going to introduce performance degrading software into your cars, expect people to do one of two things:
- The will stop buying your cars
- They will buy your cars and then figure out a way to undo your shitty software limits
Either way... your money-making scheme will bring down a world of shit PR. (What moronic executive thought this would be a good idea? The one with the most stock options?)

IMO... the US should ban any flights that overfly russia as a matter of maintaining the appearance of solidarity with Ukraine.
I'm sorry but russia is off limits IMO. They want to be bullies... let them play in their sandbox all by themselves. Do not allow flights that overfly russia to land in cities that are allied with Ukraine.

Reply to Goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C ‘more fragile’ than ever, says Cop27 chair by ultimateHelmetHead
As someone once said... "That would be great !!...... 30 years ago. Now, it's too late." The plain and simple truth is that industry was not interested in the welfare of this world... they were only interested in becoming super-rich wealth hoarders. They succeeded in becoming super-rich.... and now the planet will soon be an extinction event.

Sorry..... NOT impressed, at all..... russia is a 3rd world country (always has been) and holding drills with nukes NEVER impresses. Why not hold drills with your aircraft carrier? OH YEAH... it's sitting on the bottom at the pier.
